– elevating early learning through innovation
In response to the rapidly evolving educational landscape, ORT SA CAPE, a local organisation which offers training to teachers and practitioners in the education space, hosted a Tech & Connect Breakfast on 8 October 2024 at the Century City Conference Centre.
The event allowed educational leaders and stakeholders to explore how new ways of thinking and teaching can transform early learning.
Centred around the theme Elevating Early Learning Through Innovation, the breakfast addressed key topics including the opportunities AI, coding, and robotics present in early education; learning coding through play; fostering a growth mindset; and technology hacks for the classroom.
One of the speakers at the event congratulated ORT SA CAPE on this initiative, saying, “We need to inspire teachers to be passionate about tech. It is this passion that will flow into learners and our education system.”
Lisa Wingham, Head of Education and Training at ORT SA CAPE, concluded, “ORT SA CAPE has successfully integrated technology into its training programmes, equipping teachers to navigate the new Coding and Robotics curriculum. As education evolves, our mission is to ensure teachers are empowered to prepare students for the future.”
